Congratulations on the new job!

Starting in a newly created position is so much fun, because you can't do anything wrong!  You get to define, really, what the job is and how you do everything.

I think the most important aspect in all of this is, what are people expecting of you?  Once you know what the needs are you can get down to the nitty gritty of setting up procedures for getting things done.  And remember, procedures aren't just about how you get things done, they are about how you get needed information from others to get things done.  In this instance, it's good you have a boss you are familiar with and who is familiar with you.  You'll know how supportive he is of establishing procedures for getting what you need from the various offices.

Congrats again!
